a man 57 sits on a bed
undoes his tie black jacket
folded next to him.
his wife taking out an earring
silver evening wear.
he is bemused
'met the strangest fellow
drinks cosmopolitans & likes to have
his picture taken in front of cars.
calls himself a poet.'
Too cold is this
To warm with Sun--
Too stiff to bended
be,
To joint this Agate
were a work--feat--
Outstanding Masonry--
Defying--Appalling--Abashing
Beyond machinery--
How went the Agile
Kernel out
Contusion of the Husk
Nor Rip, nor wrinkle
indicate
But just an Asterisk.

I am not "it," as far as pornography goes, just a replacement - dog for child, a loaded revolver for a trustworthy fragment. examples get reprinted just before extinction, distribution is wide spread. there is an urgent call, positions get misplaced between bed and refrigerator. I mean between the greatest hits and a gray morning. which is different and later than most four letter words by the time the same post argument hits the lists, it’s nothing more than an incident without a name.

Snow webs a sky past morning. Don't know how to feel about the fact that you don't cry for me anymore--guess I deserve it, but the dope dwindled, the lesions on how we love stand out like strict sentinels. I'm just trying to stop my head. Snow erases the sky, the mud, the smoldered trees long lipstuck to vinegar, and how could I ever deal with the surprise of you, gone now for months but surfacing and steady in my mind, ululating like light itself trickles distant sugars, a gumdrop moan? Tall Palestinians need industry publications. This is All Things Considered.

Thrillish dark, someone home says, essays in aggravation gas pinto foams. The forms that walking home at night take on stitch willful hairy spiders wrangling on trees, at the end of each naked sleeping branch. You who walk shoeless through each cupped stall and spill of streetlights yellow icing in islands on the road. You're dead, but only in a subjunctive case.

You are walking with your father on the lawns
of a quiet neighborhood. The lawns are wet
and neither of you have shoes. You sense the blue bathrobes
the two of you wear may be inappropriate. At a house
you arrive unannounced and a man answers, says nothing
though he could be acting a touch surprised. You're not sure.
Where is your father? You notice windows, ridiculously
curved and paperthin. The man leads downstairs
where his high school daughter has just dressed.
She smells like Chanel and the beach, more beach.
Her breasts seem immaculate. More massive,
impossibly fine windows. The room fueled by light.
Her father leaves and the way everyone is acting you think
it may be a holiday. You try to help, it is your duty
to show her words, but her breasts keep fumbling into
the words and she is totally aloof, seeming to know
that each flip of hair releases into the room more beach.
You explain the midnight sun phenomenon. The speed
by which life must react. "Are you seeing illusions?" she asks.
Her word choice concerns you: illusions instead of
delusions. Where has your father gone?
You smell diesel from above and a small jet is wobbling
down, separating silently into soft orange pieces that become peaceful
just beyond your horizon. They have leveled a cabin--you know.
You think you have died in the crash and sob in the daughter's arms.
You think your father has died in the crash and you sob.
You are uncertain who has died. Your eyes open to what's
in your palm: a chunk of amber with a bee center-encased.
The amber is clear. So is the bee, remarkably so.

each glance looks (Ford) at dreams of the interior of T
and burns the window frontal of the pickup truck that was
broken for the varied lot of the goods of the food parking
car where is to depend inverted upon in excess the
surface of some walked others thought brings the reaction

mount on the Mount that "they are grasped in ground/street

window foot that "has intercourse sexual" the scale

The flame the neighbor yawns into
is more capacity than category.
She knows a lot about how people
get along and get by, a device
for do-it-yourself typology.
As long as they have money
and a decent job, they perform
an action modified as natural language:
speak English, speak recognizable.
Isn't this flurry, this ice in the freezer
in the kitchen, encumbered?
One thing you can do with an offer
is take it, so the extract
begins, eye-balling mother flanked
on her left, single-parent family
with references, materials
for a constructional pair.
Habitus and orthodox manners
prove a toxic word scare.
I remember swooning, a comedy,
a book of the book of a girl's life
hitting the tripwire of smell where
all memory explodes at once.
Much of life becomes background
and scoring, a tie to future sentences.
Here's the milky hint of content,
an archive as a gift of long life
never kept (to live is to erode).
So look away, talk the long term
of "passionate wit" and shock attack.
Embrace the abandoned, misfit
and unclaimed stills of recitation.
Epistolary shadows and real-time
grave-digging, a decent question
at the heart of all broken records.

Of numerous refuge: New Orleans, Montana, California, Ithaca. Islands of history in a willed blank destiny. For me it's what's not New Jersey. The mind is its own place.
Meaning in place, not of it. Migrate to the site of meaning you stand in. The discursive remnant in the poem, alienated from both empirical rationality and lyric intensity, shines through the text, a powerful seam that divides and connects what would otherwise wear the mask of identity. The groove in a peach. Sexual site of difference between the phallic symbolic of discourse and the phallic imaginary of lyric. Trace of the document invading the lyric space with networks of relation. Fracture in autonomy that re-discloses its agency, mediating the made. Utopian "not yet": not not-this-but-that but not-this-yet-this—that is, thisness, a minimal guarantee of subjectivity with noplace to stand but in proximity, felt distance, extimacy. Strengthening lengthening, the drives' ebb and flow. The frustration of intention is required if the truth of listening is to enter the poem.
Heaven of hell: in the ebb of negativity we wash up in a momentary Arcadia. For a moment we stand in Heidegger's clearing, Being-with a few others we have invited. Straining for Pan’s song and not hearing it until we lapse into apperception. At that moment the tide turns and we’re swept back out to battle the world as it is: hell of heaven. The memory of heaven lifts our exhausted arms.
in a room one hundred and twenty five feet long and ten feet wide I sit hovering over planks and nails. there are thirty servere windows that stare at me. now I know you may be thinking paranoia, right, well, I am thinking more tragedy in the making; I could have spent the extra money on linoleum, whitewashed the walls, painted everything with fleur-de-lis design of joan of arcs glory days, but I decided to leave everything in a low grade liverish brown, a reminder of my body being dragged up a flight of steps and pushed out the kitchen door, having been beat with the broken arm of an arm chair, which as they were beating me mostly on my arms, I though rather ironic. I was still able to stoke my gas furnace with a bit of humor, but in truth I can not remember if this took place or not; like most things in my life the past has a protestant priority, the present, scabs with a third round to go, and the future a communal carper. most of the time I can not even remember all the numbers that make me who I am. last night I even sold six of the numbers that I had just so I could watch a half an hour of a detective something on television. I keep hearing -get up you asshole or we are going to...- I did not move since I thought it was the television and not some hate mongering legalese waiting to whitewash my fence. well, that’s what I get for ignoring the atmosphere and only paying attention to what is in reach of my senses. that is how I ended up in a room one hundred and twenty five feet long and ten feet wide, I thought I would teach bullfighting to the cool nuance, and after a kill or two it was suggested via wounds and a chaotic chess board across my head that I should keep the cat burning and learn to confine the dead to old love songs or at least the fat and hungry.

it was a suicide day,
tin fish hooks crushed
in about the edges.
I could hear blue
or slate gray.
someone bit a hand off,
(it could have been their own).
in the midst of
medical curiosity,
the living was left nothing.
it rained
and never stopped.
a pen disappeared,
I screamed for days,
hours,
minutes,
seconds.
nothing but,
“blue largo . . . ”
code words
for crumbing rocks.
I keep saying, “blue largo.”
